I like Lydia! Elise, Marie, Clara, and Lydia work together really well, imo, and Clara and Lydia aren't too close for sisters at all, imo! Elena is lovely, but Elise and Elena are a bit too close for me. Pearl is nice, but I've never really been able to imagine it as a FN. I have it as a MN all over my list, but for some reason, I just can't imagine a Pearl. It is very pretty, though, and just as distinct as your other girls' names!

I like Lydia and Pearl best. I think that Elena is too close, and I think that the other two fit better. I personally like Pearl more, but I think Lydia works well. I wouldn't worry about Lydia and Clara.

Thanks for all the great responses! I think I can eliminate Elena from the short list now. You all seem pretty split as far as favoring Pearl or Lydia :-( Guess that means my hubby and I are going to have to sort it out for ourselves. Anyone have boxing gloves I can borrow?!
